Project Analytical Chemist

Analytical/QC Project Chemist

We’re supporting the growth of a new specialist QC function within a dynamic, multi-site pharmaceutical operation across the UK. This is a project-focused role working alongside a dedicated validation team, supporting new product introductions, method development, and technical transfer across multiple UK sites.

You’ll play a key role in bringing new methods into GMP QC environments, scaling processes, and embedding robust validation practices across the network.

What you need to know

• Multi-site role – based out of a North UK facility but with travel required across all UK sites
• Working closely with a central validation team, while remaining part of the wider QC function
• Reporting line into QC leadership, with strong project-based collaboration
• Focus on new product introduction, validation and tech transfer before handover to local QC teams
• Core responsibilities include:
• Method validation and transfer (some method development)
• Scaling up analytical methods for routine QC use
• Training QC teams on validated methods

What you need to bring

• 2–3 years’ experience in a GMP QC or analytical environment
• Demonstrated expertise in analytical method validation – not just some exposure, but independent troubleshooting and problem solving
• Hands-on experience with HPLC and GC techniques
• Strong understanding of GMP requirements within a regulated setting
• Experience supporting method development, optimisation, or tech transfer
• Ability to work in a project-driven, multi-site environment
• Confident communicator, capable of training and supporting QC teams during method handover
